AI Automation Team Lead (Remote, Contract)
We are building a small, high-impact team of problem-solvers, builders, and operators within SoftDev who will help us transform and evolve in the AI era.
This is not a traditional role with narrowly defined responsibilities. You will join a cross-functional transformation squad focused on identifying inefficiencies, challenging legacy workflows, and implementing AI-powered solutions that create measurable business impact.
Some team members may come from technical backgrounds; others from operations, product, analytics, or project management.
What matters the most:
Ability to solve real problems in a variety of different departments across the organization
Being agile, forward-thinking, and adaptable
Not being tied to legacy systems and processes
Proposing creative solutions and being willing to ask: “Why do we still do it this way?” and then building something better
We expect you to be:
Self-directed, self-sufficient, and comfortable with ambiguity
A strong problem-solver with analytical thinking and data fluency
Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams
Experienced with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Gemini, n8n, etc.), automations, agents, or workflows
Capable of evaluating business value, calculating ROI, and prioritizing incoming automation requests
Able to design and build integrations that connect new AI tooling with core database systems (e.g., mainDB / legacy stacks)
Strong in stakeholder management and delegating/coordinating tasks for a small team (3–4 members)
Technical & Core Requirements:
Practical experience writing Python scripts for automation and data manipulation
Proficiency in SQL and working with relational databases
Experience with data flow design and process redesign
Hands-on experience with no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., n8n, Zapier) alongside custom code solutions
Bonus Points:
Experience with vibe-coding practices or rapid prototyping tools
Experience leading change initiatives or managing technical team members
Experience migrating legacy automated processes to modern, code-based or AI-assisted infrastructure
Business Analysis or Data Analytics background
What we offer:
Fully remote work format.
Opportunity to shape the backbone systems of a modern, data-driven digital company.
A collaborative, innovation-first environment that values initiative and experimentation.
Paid time off and sick leave.
Reduced working hours on Fridays during the summer.
Days-off on US national holidays + your birthday.
Don't hesitate to apply. We look forward to meet you!
